Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Very touched. Someone actually reads my post. So I am inspired to keep posting, even though only one person might be reading it.
Christmas is coming. Everyone in the world are celebrating Christmas, and yet not know what the meaning of Christmas is. They usually associate Christmas with presents, Christmas trees, Santa Claus(doesn't make sense actually) and all kinds of lunacy. What is the true meaning of Christmas?
Let me take you back to the beginning of the world. Long, long time ago, before even time began, God made the earth. The first humans, Adam and Eve were friends of God; they were
made right with God. But then sin entered this earth through disobedience. From then, humans were seperated from God and almost every human died. Not dying in a physical way, no, there's a worst kind of death. It's dying a spiritual death, being seperated from God for eternity. Satan actually thought he had won. But he didn't knew that the script was written already. God actually said to Satan, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."
The person who would crush Satan was born on Christmas night. For Jesus Christ didn't come to condemn the world, but to save the world.[John 3:17] He preached the good news to "repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand."
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Christ came into this world to save the world by dying for sins of everyone of you. "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth." [Isaiah 53:7] Like chuyi said, nails didn't keep Jesus on the cross. Love did. He loves you. He wants to spend eternity with you in paradise. What is the condition?
It's definitely not through good works or observing the law. For whoever relies on observing the law is under a curse, for it is written,"Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do
everything written in the Book of Law."[Deut 27:26] makes sense to you? no? well, no one can obey
everything in the Book of Law. no, our righteousness are like filthy rags. What's the answer then? Faith. "The righteous will live by faith." [Habbakuk 2:4] Put your faith in Jesus Christ. If ur faith is in Jesus Christ, then I'll see you in the eternal kingdom my brother/sister. It's just a simple step into the light. Just say, "Jesus I need you. I
believe in you."
I pray that whoever reads this would be willing to take that step into the light. If you are, tell me and I will pray with you.
To think that Jesus Christ would actually die for me, I would tell myself "Unworthy. Unworthy." But then I realise another thing. Justified. Justified by faith.
